Reference Photo, Late 2025
This is a reference photo that I took to get across a pose I wanted someone to hold. It was as close an approximation I could get to the idea I had in mind, which I’ve spoken about before but … Continue reading

Reaching Out
This photo, whilst a reference, was one I took with a specific idea in mind. I think it would work better in better conditions and slightly different framing, and perhaps with two people rather than just myself gripping my arm, … Continue reading

Shadowed Sight
Another practise photo that turned out well. At least, I think it turned out well. You could probably argue that this image speaks to a loss of sense of identity we might try to protect ourselves from. A loss of … Continue reading

Grabbing the Mic
Taken at a gig a while back. I thought the moment would make for an interesting photo and I think it does, but it didn’t fit with the gallery overall so I put it aside and, well, here it is. … Continue reading

Bent Back in Paint
For a few months I’ve wanted to do some more MS Paint images based on reference photos of my hands I took earlier this year. These two are based on this photo which I thought would work well. Originally I … Continue reading
